When fighting with shitty-xine, suddenly and without any question, firefox fetched or

if firefox does something (upgrading) what it's not supposed to do (you disabled auto-update, right? not sure if you have to restart ffox after the change), file a bug @firefox bugzilla.

After searching and deleting that second user-agent-string with hexedit, that rat-hole
was filled; this still maybe the case today.

well, if you're curious about it: try it out ;-)

Ideas of making a logfile for, at least, all that is send via what-ever-protocol towards
the internet ????

Either strace(1) the mozilla process or tcpdump(8) the network traffic.

Even debian is not free of shitware......

that's why we're all invited to make it better.
